Weather TR: If you're a young person with wonderful hair looking for a
lucrative job in broadcasting, you should think about TV weather forecasting.
We're looking for young attractive men and women with good teeth who can
stretch a little tiny forecast into an 8-minute TV segment including two
commercials --- AND to stand in front of a blank screen and make it look
as if you're pointing to Ohio. AND make every day sound like a life-threatening
situation. SS: This is Debbie Flexner, Eyewitness Weather, with a winter
sun warning from the U.S. Weather Service. Sunshine has now reached levels
that could cause blindness if you look directly into the sun and even
reflections of sunlight off glass or metallic surfaces could cause you
to lose control of a vehicle and skid into a bridge abutment. Details
at 10. TR: Here at the University of Maui School of Meteorology we offer
a six-week program that leads to the M.S.W. degree AND gives you 100,000
frequent flier miles free. Plus a free facial and hair coloring. We teach
you to read comfortably from a Teleprompter. To make graceful hand gestures
showing the movement of cold fronts. And to project a sense of impending
danger. SS: This wind chill advisory just in ---- a warning that persons
in hostage situations forced to strip naked and lie on the ground could
face serious frostbite with the possible loss of fingers and toes or other
body parts. Color photographs coming up at 10. GK: That's the University of Maui School of Meteorology. © Garrison Keillor 2003 |
